#TIL that #EdsgerDijkstra taught at #UTAustin for fifteen years. He was there while I was a student there, and I might have sat in the same building as his office on multiple occasions, although I have no idea where his office actually was back then. Also, I'm not sure I knew who he was back then. XD

@dfloyd888, did you know this?
